Sitting Ducks, Peak Oil and the conflicting interests of the Establishment

PEAK OIL TIME

FOR THE

ESTABLISHMENT, TOO!

"If you're out there wondering . . . what your life is going to be like and you're looking at $4 a gallon, that's uncertain," Bush said. "And when you couple with the idea that taxes may be going up in a couple of years, that's double uncertainty."

Do you really believe this guy?

Beneath the headlines of this week's news lays the very real dynamic of political power. Long dead Chairman Mao once said that ultimately, "political power comes out of the barrel of a gun."

Yesterday, well just a few years ago, we had Scalia hunting ducks with Cheney while deciding secrecy issues in the energy industry soaked White House.

Today it is the establishment's slippery grasp on the billions of barrels of, wait for it, OIL.

It may just be slipping away, for those in political power - pumping the corporations while waving a Christian Bible at you. Supreme court Justice Alito had to recuse himself from the Exxon-Valdez case because of his ownership of a vast number of shares in that damnable company.

All this while that ass in the White House holds a press conference and claims ignorance to gasoline bumping to $4.00 a gallon by this summer - it's already over that in California. The pack of liars, and con-men in power have much more than a petty "conflict of interest" in this matter and they are culpable as international war criminals, yet each and every one of them will be exonerated by their fellow members in the "establishment."

Maybe this voter upsurge has them scared, but will it clean them out?

This country needs a good Big Energy enema. It begins with each and every one of it's citizens getting "off the grid" and food autonomous. Then we might be able to tell them "what's what" in the election polling booths and the streets.
